Water:

It is very important to drink water every day. You and everybody else in the world by now has heard about the 8 glasses a day water system. If you can stand it, go for it. I can't stand it though. When I first started to drink water on this diet I figured it up this way. Eight glasses of water a day, each glass is eight ounces, so 8 ounces X 8 glasses = 64 ounces. That's the same amount as a 2-litre bottle. So I took an empty 2-litre bottle that used to have some diet soda in it and rinsed it out and replaced it with water. Then I put my new water jug into the refrigerator. The next day I drank that 2-litre bottle inside of 30 minutes and thought, "Well that's out of the way." I was very pleased with myself till I got the worse headache.

I found out that they mean 8 glasses, 8 different times during the day. Do not over indulge in your water intake. If you don't get all the water in by the end of the day, don't try to make up for it before going to bed, it makes for a long night of trips to the rest room. As for myself, I try to get in 4 to 8 glasses a day. I do my best but I'm not going to over do it.
